The French city of Lyon plays host in June this year to ISPO, the world congress of the International Society for Prosthetics and Orthotics. Among Össur’s team at this big event is the extraordinary street dancer Tommy Guns
Ly, who will be wowing the crowds with his incredible moves on the brand new RHEO KNEE 3. Check out a sneak preview here!

The event encompasses four days (June 22-25) of conferences, lectures, demonstrations and exhibitions, all showcasing the latest developments in O&P technology and scientific research. Exciting, as well as educational, the ISPO congress is the perfect platform for professionals to share or enhance their knowledge and discover something new.

Shared success

For Össur, the spotlight remains firmly focused on innovative solutions for shared success – that is to say successful outcomes for O&P specialists and product users alike. The Company will be presenting a number of ‘Functional Healing’ products from its most advanced range of injury solutions to date, plus the Unloader® FIT, the newest and lightest ever functional brace for people with knee osteoarthritis. A scientifically proven design weighing in at just 296g (10oz), it provides rapid pain relief for those with this typically debilitating condition.

In addition to the amazing RHEO KNEE® 3, featuring the latest in microprocessor knee technology, visitors to the congress will also be finding out more about Össur’s range of prosthetic solutions designed specifically for less active and older people. And the UNITY® vacuum suspension system that’s helping to enhance prosthetic outcomes at every level.

Össur is equally delighted to be presenting a varied program of lectures and workshops, including sessions on ‘Active vacuum solutions for all – introducing Unity® for TT and TF users’ and ‘Enhancing gait dynamics and confidence with RHEO KNEE® 3’.
